My skills
I lived on a farm for most of my life, harvesting vegetables and caring for livestock and animals. I have studied Spanish, Portuguese, linguistics, and anthropology. I have some experience in nature photography. I work well with a diverse range of people and like to see a job through to completion. I plan to get a TEFL certificate to teach English abroad.
Languages Spoken
English (Mother Tongue) Spanish (Advanced) Portuguese (Beginner)Full CV / Resume
I do not have much work experience yet, other than working in food service for 7 years, animal care and barn management for 10 years, and retail selling for 2 years. In addition, I regularly housesit for people, taking care of their homes and pets while they are gone. I clean, walk the dogs, feed, groom, take care of plants, etc. I have taken care of cats and dogs as little as a Dachshund and as big as a Newfoundland!
I would like to find a job where I can work with people, growing in and teaching languages. I hope to apply that to many different working environments, such as classroom teaching, animal care, photography and more. I am a quick-learner, inligent, willing, and very motivated. I have an excellent work ethic and am very dependable.
I will add a full CV when it becomes available.
About Me
I grew up in a small, rural town in western New York State. I lived on a farm where I learned to cultivate and harvest crops and take care of a wide range of animals. I began horseback riding when I was 9 years old and have been riding ever since. After riding for a few years, I began working at the stables, feeding, turning out, exercising, etc. I have been working at horse stables for over 10 years now. In my teenage years, I worked in food service, preparing and serving food at local fairs and festivals. For the past couple years, I have been working in retail and customer service. I do everything from being a cashier, stocking shelves, informing customers about products, and selling merchandise.
I am currently studying at a large university in Buffalo, NY where I study Spanish, linguistics, and cultural anthropology. Outside of the classroom, I also study Portuguese in my spare time. I hope to achieve many more languages over the years, possibly Arabic, Hebrew, German, French, etc.
I am a very lively person! I love life and want to live it fully! I believe everyone has a purpose and like to inspire and encourage other people to find theirs. I strive for equality and work to make sure no one is trampled on. In my spare time, I like to cook, bake, sing, play piano, read both fiction and non-fiction, listen to all kinds of music, go hiking, play with my dogs, go horseback riding, hang out with friends and talk, traveling and exploring new places. I am not a rowdy, obnoxious person. I consider myself, a thinker, very open-minded and kind and respectful to other people. I do my best to make everyone feel comfortable.
